So, what are we supposed to do during the next one or two years, until Civ V is patched to good? Very easy: play Pie's Ancient Europe III, the Rome among the Ancient mods!
When you're looking for a richer and greatly improved BTS with only few rule changes, my first recommandation will still be History Rewritten by Xyth. But if you're open to an entire new game, that doesn't reward always-the-same safe Civ IV routines, with bold rule changes in many areas, try Pie's mod.
The third version is both for players, who prefer an elaborate strategy game with working multiplayer and good game balance even on random maps, and also for players, who want to immerse into antiquity. PAE III is very giving to both of the "parties", whose arguments can be found in almost any mod dedicated discussion thread on these forums, the "boardgame-strategy-balance-fairness"-faction arguing with the "godgame-simulation-immersion-realism"-faction. Both factions will be happy.
As PAE's duly authorized agent to the Mac forum, I'm proud to say, I contributed the Athenians, Spartans and Thebans to this mod, so it's to a very small amount
mac native. I know, Aspyr's developers will hardly read this, but it must simply be said, that there is some Mac based modding activity going on, and the Aspyr apointee who commented on that on the Civ V forum, now has another reason to work day and night on porting the full modding capabilities of Civ V to the Mac
.
How, Pie is living in St.Pölten near Vienna, I live in Berlin, does that mean, the Axis is back
? Yes it is, and this time with one damn good secret weapon
Have fun
